A bunch of action in this video with the first run showing a stout stock bottom end Camaro on meth and race gas with an F1A Procharger go up against a built motor MKIII Supra on E85 and 33 psi of boost courtesy of a Precision 6766 turbocharger. The cars are pretty evenly matched and somewhere in the 8XX wheel horsepower range. The second set of runs show a stock MP4-12C against an ESS VT2 supercharged DCT E92 M3.

The Camaro and Supra are both in a different league regarding roll on performance than the MP4-12C and the supercharged M3. That said, the MP4-12C leaves the M3 in its dust. It really is not even a race. The McLaren is stock with the 616 horsepower factory map but even when the M3 is given the hit it's still easily destroyed.

Why the M3 owner would show up on pump gas without meth injection and a high boost pulley is anyone's guess. It just led to being embarrassed by bus lengths on video. If that M3 belonged to this writer that supercharger kit would already be off the car and listed for sale.

this cracked me up

I'd be angry. I was nice about that I'd be asking for a refund and fuming. There's forum dyno racing and then real world racing.

M3's got the horsepower but ain't got the torque down low and the Mc's got all the torque at the right places to pull bus lengths... Wonder what a similar power ST E92 335i would fare against it...

It would get handled just the same up top. Not in the same universe in terms of aerodynamics, that Mclaren is built to move air in a way that no E92 on earth is. Better gearing, better power band, better aero.

I think weight is the biggest advantage the McLaren has against any E90/E92. It's like 3,200lbs!
